MEADVILLE, PA. — What Color Is God?” is a lighthearted but important lesson of faith. “What Color Is God?” is the creation of published author Zarita Ann Melton, a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother who has worked as a registered nurse for over twenty-five years.

Melton shares, “This book answers the question we have all wondered at times: ‘What color is God?’ The answer is clearly found in the Bible and explained in this simple story, which is told in a children’s Sunday school setting. It’s so simple it will make you wonder why we haven’t all seen it before.

Melton shares in hopes of helping upcoming generations value their own skin color, as well as the different skin colors of other people, and to honor and respect everyone’s connection to God.

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Zarita Ann Melton’s new book will entertain the imagination as readers consider the thoughtful questions found within.

Consumers can purchase “What Color Is God?” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Professional Baseball Player Turned Pastor Writes Book Focusing on Overcoming Fear

Leave a comment

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) APRIL 2023— Jeremy McGarity introduces, “Faith Over Fear: How to apply faith to any fearful situation,” a Christian self-help book dedicated to helping people overcome any fear with the proper application of faith.

In the book, McGarity presents the truth of God’s word in applicable ways during moments of fear or distress. Each chapter concludes with application-focused questions, a journal prompt, and an action step so readers can allow the truth to impact them in a personal and powerful way.

“The Covid-19 pandemic inspired me to write this book,” McGarity said. “At the time, people were feeling overwhelmed and defeated. Instead of following the negative and fearful feelings, I wanted to write a book that teaches people to overcome all fears in the light of faith.”

McGarity believes people were made for more than just wrestling, striving, and struggling. Instead, he says, they’re made for hope, faith, and freedom from fear. To nurture this spirit, he encourages his readers to reflect on the teachings of his book and cultivate a positive mindset, no matter how fearful they may feel.

“My book can be relevant to any fearful situation,” McGarity said. “Whether it is situations related to the fall of the economy, new pandemics, or wars, this book will help readers learn to survive and thrive in the midst of them.”

Leave a comment

Available Free on YouTube Beginning March 31

FLORENCE, Ala., /Christian Newswire/ — Approximately 18 million children in the United States live without a biological, step or adoptive father present in the home. The Alliance for Ending the Fatherless Epidemic is not only on a mission to eliminate fatherlessness by providing resources and grants but is also announcing the debut of its new documentary, THE FATHERLESS EPIDEMIC. Available for free on YouTube beginning Friday, March 31st at 5 p.m. CT, the film highlights mentorship as a solution to the nationwide issue of fatherlessness, challenging churches and ministries to stand in the gap.

“The 21st-century version of a widow is the single mom, and the orphan is a fatherless kid,” said Executive Director and Founder of The Alliance for Ending the Fatherless Epidemic Eric Swithin. “It’s time for churches to raise men to be intentional about identifying the fatherless in their communities and doing something about it.”

Watch the trailer for THE FATHERLESS EPIDEMIC here.

THE FATHERLESS EPIDEMIC strives to encourage viewers that the epidemic can be solved and we can present the love of God to youth in desperate need of a Godly father figure.

“The key to erasing the fatherless epidemic is through mentorship,” said Swithin. “We are thrilled to provide this documentary as a resource to many ministries to highlight the intense need for men to step up.”

THE FATHERLESS EPIDEMIC is a short documentary addressing the most pressing issue in America, fatherlessness. While everyone attempts to solve our societal ills by treating symptoms, the church is being called to fight the issue at its roots. The solution to curing the epidemic is not to outsource it to the government but to mobilize the church and wage war against the enemy decimating our homes.
